Yes, it is time to do this again. The monthly airing of insecurities. This month, as I prepare to edit the final Mina and Matty series, one worry is picking at my brain: did I screw myself? See, I really love Mina and Matty, but I also really wanted to get back into novels. However, […]
Here I am, once again, talking about my insecurities. And ironically, it’s when I have them on display. See, I didn’t start out writing novellas. I started with novels. And my baby, The Haven, was that story. The one people tell you to write. “Write the books you want to read!” And I did. I […]
Another month, another airing of insecurities. This week I’m obsessed with sales. Haven’t had one in awhile. Now, I have had pre-orders for the Omnibus of my latest series, and I’m trying really hard to be happy about that. But all the same, I like seeing my daily peaks. There’s something comforting about knowing that […]
Ooof, running super late today. Usually I get my blog post out before noon, but tomorrow is the first day of school. My husband took the day off to let me sleep in (something I will not be doing for months.). Once we were up, we were off. Which kind of leads me to […]
It’s time for the monthly airing of insecurities! *Kate, you’re a day early…* Yes, logical self I know, but I have a blog hop tomorrow, and I hate posting twice in one day. So, here we go: I’m not selling any stories. It’s super frustrating. At first, I told myself, it’s because I’m writing […]
Ahh, annual airing of insecurities. And today I shall come out and say the unthinkable, “I don’t have an editor.” This is a mortal sin in the publishing world. And I get it, I do. I’m a lousy proofreader. In addition to my love of weirdly arranged sentences, I have this horrible habit of […]
On Tuesday, I busted out 3k words for the Monsters of Pittsburgh finale. When I finished, I wrote my Insecure Writers Support Group post, and was ready to spend all day Wednesday head deep in drafting. I woke up, opened Scrivener, and… immediately started scrolling shutterstock.com. Because, you see, my friend bought X amount of […]
Why yes, it is the first Wednesday of the month and time for the airing of insecurities. In this case, self-promotion. It’s common insecurity with indie writers, maybe all writers. I always feel like such a schmuck when I do it. I’m not sure where it comes from. I don’t know a single indie […]
I almost forgot. It’s the first Wednesday of the month, time for me to air my insecurities. The thing that’s been creeping me out lately, is how far on the backburner my novels are. I love my world, and I love writing in it. I know I need an editor for the first, and it’ll […]
